"Sander's has said he wants to strengthen the Democratic party."

He's lying. He wants to help Bernie.

I agree with much of what you say here, koan, but I'm just struck, once again, how difficult Sanders is to work with. That brief exchange just reminded me of it. No room for a conversational bit about "we are in this together" or whatever. Just "I'm not one of them." Which goes to the much larger point of his ineffectiveness in legislative work. Something I plan to watch Warren to see if she is better.

No, I agree with you.

I am saying the Bernie-or-fuck u segment, not Bernie himself who gets criticized by the same people when he often supports Democrats.

Bernie Sanders himself is a relatively good doobie IMHO.
